Join us for two nights of works celebrating the radical work of the legendary Portia Cobb. Her interdisciplinary practice as an artist and filmmaker is deeply interested in telling stories that reflect the double-consciousness of African American history, identity, memory & forced forgetting. This creative body of work and research has joined these themes and found form in videos, photographic essays, field recordings, ephemeral installations and site-specific performances.

An evening of expanded / contracted / living / breathing / doing / being (in the) cinema, performances for the room and for one night only by invited and commissioned artists, including Ruby Que, Camille Casemir and Liyan Zhao.
